The List Total Colouring Conjecture is False

We exhibit a cubic graph with total chromatic number equal to four and list total chromatic number five. This disproves the List Total Colouring Conjecture of Borodin--Kostochka--Woodall, Juvan--Mohar--\v{S}krekovski and Hilton--Johnson from the late 1990s. ChatGPT 6 Astra Ultra discovered the counterexample with littl...

The Partial List Colouring Conjecture is False

We exhibit a graph $G$ with $14$ vertices and list chromatic number equal to $3$ such that there is a $2$-list assignment $L$ of $G$ such that at most $9$ vertices of $G$ can be properly coloured from $L$. This disproves the Partial List Colouring Conjecture of Albertson, Grossman and Haas. This counterexample was disc...

Sharp bounds for the fractional chromatic number of high-girth d-degenerate graphs

Martinsson and Steiner recently proved that the fractional chromatic number of any $d$-degenerate triangle-free graph $G$ satisfies $\chi_f(G) = O\left(\frac{d}{\log d}\right)$. They further conjectured a sharp leading constant $1 + o(1)$. In this paper, we confirm their upper bound conjecture for graphs having girth a...
